Bypass LAN and private networks feature

[shanghaix]

Hello,

Using the latest update on Mac and iOS, the release notes state that now Outline Client bypasses LAN and private networks while connected.
Unfortunately I used outline to access a lot of private resources on remote networks (SSH...) and with the new update I am unable to do it anymore.
I know it was added in this recent pull request (#311).
Could it be possible to let the user chose the default behaviour instead of pushing the feature to everyone?

@shanghaix Thanks for using Outline and for reporting this. I'm afraid that in addition to this client change, we also recently removed support for accessing private networks in the server - so even if we added this as an option in the client, it still wouldn't work (with Outline servers, at least).

Sorry this has bitten you - @sandrigo FYI and @shanghaix perhaps you could describe in a little more detail how you access those servers?

@trevj I too use outline to access private networks, is this feature now discontinued permanently?

[trevj]

@rmonst3r Sorry for the slow reply - I can't say permanently because we could make it a feature in the client and if this issue received a lot of upvotes we would re-prioritise but for now we have no plans to change this, sorry.

Upvote for this feature.

I thought it was an issue with the shadowbox Docker container network and spent the whole afternoon trying to figure out what is going on.

The usage scenario is pretty clear. An easy way to use outline (from home or while traveling) to access remote private LAN (in office) for work.

It is valuable to privately access home machines connected through Outline while not at home (e.g. from a smartphone or laptop).

I also want this feature. Is it feasible to add as an option during setup?

[wiredbrother]

I agree. The reason I wanted Outline in the first place was I thought this feature was built in. Now back to the drawing board for a VPN to access my servers. Sad face indeed

Guys try out Softether, that's what I switched to.
